Clusters of green, unripe beefsteak tomatoes on a sprawling vine

The one beefsteak tomato plant has really taken over one half of one of the raised beds and is starting to produce a significant amount of fruit. Nothing has ripened yet but really excited to use these in some BLTs and grilled cheeses.

The ghost pepper plant continues to become a behemoth and has taken over the other half of the bed that the beefsteak tomato has occupied. This has dozens of pods on it already but nothing has ripened yet as this point.

Finally I picked up a nice composter unit so I'm going to start feeding it scraps and boxes and whatnot and see if I can get some homemade compost by the end of the season which I can use to amend my beds before winter.
